Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A crystalline type-A zeolite powder, which can be used as a phosphate substitute in detergents, is produced by precipitation reaction in that in a defined sequence sodium-tetrasilicate solution and sodium-aluminate liquor are simultaneously passed to a reactor containing water, whereupon sodium-tetrasilicate solution is added first and sodium-aluminate liquor thereafter. The crystalline product has an average particle size of 6.7 to 8 µm and a narrow particle size distribution curve.

Description

~1~222 The present invention relates to a process for producing crystalline type-A zeolite powder having an average particle diameter of 6.7 to 8.0 llm.
Zeolite A is a crystalline alkali metal aluminium si]icate whose composition corresponds to the formula 1-0 ~ 0-2 M2/nO : AQ2O3 : 1.85 - 0.5 SiO2 . y H2O
wherein M represents a metal cation, n is valency and y a value of up to 6.
Zeolite A is increasingly gaining in importance as a phosphate substitute in detergents. For this purpose it is desirable that the crystalline type-A zeolite powder has a particle size as homogeneous as possible, i.e., that is has a particle size distribution curve as narrow as possible.
The present invention provides a process for producing a crystalline type-A zeolite powder having an average particle diameter of 6.7 to 8 ~m. This process is in which during a period of S to 15 minutes while stirring at a temperature of 30 to 70C
2 to 8 parts by volume of sodium-aluminate liquor having a con-centration of 5 to 200 g, preferably 90 to 150 g of Na2O per litre and 30 to 150 g, preferably 100 to 110 g of ~Q23 per litre and 0.6 to 1.2 parts by volume of a sodium tetrasilicate solution having a concentration of 90 to 120 g, preferably 100 to 110 g of Na2O and 330 to 380 g, preferably 340 to 370 g of sio2 per litre, which, when required, can be diluted with 1.0 to 1.5 parts by volume of water, are simultaneously passed into a reactor containing 8 to 12 parts by volume of water, the mixture is then stirred for 10 to 40 minutes, whereupon at a temperature of 30 to 70C during a period of 5 to 15 minutes further 2 to 3 parts by volume of sodium-tetrasilicate solution having the same con-centration are added, followed by stirring for a period of 10 to 40 minutes at a temperature of 30 to 70C, thereafter while stirring at a temperature of 30 to 70C further 16 to 20 parts by volume - 1 - ~

~IL54~2~2 of a sodium-aluminate liquor having the same concentration are added during a period of 5 to 15 minutes, the reaction mixture is then stirred over a period of 20 to 180 minutes at a temperature of 75 to 100C, it is cooled and the crystalline product is then filtered off and dried.
The type-A zeolite powder produced by means of the process of the present invention has an average particle diameter of 6.7 to 8.0 ~m and a grit content of <0.025~. It can be used with advantage as a phosphate substitute in detergents.
The process according to the present invention is illustrated and described in greater detail by means of the following Examples:
_xample 1 10 litres of water are put into a reactor. At a tempera-ture of 35C during a period of 10 minutes 2 litres of sodium-aluminium liquor having a concentration of 135 g of Na2O per litre and 78 g of AQ2O3 per litre and 1.2 litres of sodium-tetrasilicate solution having a concentration of 100 g of Na2O per litre and 349 g of SiO2 per litre are then passed simultaneously into this reactor while stirring. The mixture is then stirred for 30 minutes. Yurther, 2.4 litres of sodium tetrasilicate solution having the same concentration are then added during a period of 10 minutes at a temperature of 35C, followed by stirring for further 30 minutes. Thereafter, while stirring at a temperature of 35C, further 18 litres of sodium-aluminate liquor having the same concentration are added during 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is stirred for further 50 minutes at 98C and cooled.
The crystalline reaction product is filtered off and dried.
The particle size distribution curve is determined by means of the Coulter counter and the following values are obtained:

~15~Z;2Z

50% < 8.0 IJm 17~ < 10 ~Im 4% < 15 ~
The grit content (particles >45 1lm) according to Mocker is 0.024~. The calcium binding power is 148 mg of CaO per gram of zeolite.
_xample _ 10 litres of water are put into a reactor. At a temperature of 48C during a period of 10 minutes 2 litres of sodium-aluminate liquor having a concentration of 145 g of Na2O
per litre and 81 g of AQ2O3 per litre and 0.6 litre of sodium-tetrasilicate solution having a concentration of 100 g of Na2O
per litre and 349 g of SiO2 per litre, which is diluted with 1.4 litres of water, are then passed simultaneously into this reactor while stirring. The reaction mixture is then stirred for 30 minutes. Further 3.0 litres of sodium-tetrasilicate solution having the same concentration are then added during a period of 10 minutes at a temperature of 48C. This is followed by stirring for further 30 minutes, whereupon, while stirring at a temperature of 48C, further 18 litres of sodium aluminate liquor having the same concentration are added during 10 minutes. The reaction mixture is then stirred for further 80 minutes at a temperature of 88C and cooled.
The crystalline reaction product is filtered off and dried.
The particle size distribution curve is determined by means of the Coulter counter and the following values are obtained:
50% < 6.7 ~Im 12% < 10 ~m 4% < 15 ~m The grit content (particles >45 ~m) according to Mocker is 0.018~ and the calcium binding power is 151 mg of CaO per gram of zeolite.
